Fish Outta Water



For our latest video, Professor Scully wanted us to find someone interesting on campus and create a video about them. We were able to use any style of shooting that we had learned this past semester. Our team chose to create this video in the style of a stop motion music video. For our last project, we were supposed to use the Canon HD video camera to create stop motion. Due to technological errors with the computers not being able to load the footage that was shot on the camera, we were forced to use a Digital SLR to shoot pictures and then put them to motion. This time, we were able to use a Digital SLR with a water case and also the Flip Video Ultra with it's underwater case. MLS news went out and shot footage at the RWU swimming pool. We chose to profile this group of students who absolutely love throwing themselves off of the diving board, creating huge splashes and new moves. It was interesting to look inside their underwater world, and even bring a camera down below the water level to film it.

This video was definitely more of a success than the last stop motion was. And that is why we chose to do it. We wanted to perfect something that we all had an interest in and, if done the right way, we all could really enjoy.

We are getting better and better at this game, however. This video took less than an hour and a half to upload, edit, and upload a completed project to youtube and facebook. It was a great success for our team and a good way to close our semester.

Hope you enjoy the footage!
This is MLS news,
